Ah yes
Paul - this is great Space Ambient. I love all the subtle changes throughout this piece, the little changes in atmosphere you've managed to create. It is a vast soundscape, very appropriate for what you are telling. Really nice indeed. Your creative vein continues it seems!

Hi Dave....
Thanks for the nice thoughts. I recently logged into my U-he account and saw that I had purchased preset sets that I didn't have installed, so I downloaded them and this piece came out of playing with the new sounds. I've 3 or 4 sets of sounds to go through so there will be other mixes completed now that I have other great sounds.

When I can stop the world I can create, and I'm learning how to do that now......

Hi Henke......
My father always said I belonged on another planet!! I tend to agree with him.

I'm putting together some longer tracks (30 to 60 minutes) for web releases sometime in the near future. They will all be basically variations of this, to give the idea of different constellations or types of universe or other celestial phenomena, based on the sounds used in each track.

Surprise surprise...
...a trip amongst the stars.
You do this better than anyone I have ever heard, Paul. I was fairly recently at the Grand Canyon and could see the Milky Way about as clearly as I ever have. Your music captures the awe and solemnity of the heavens, and you've created a soundscape here that captures the breadth of the night sky with a calm serenity and a sense of expansiveness. The smooth transitions from chord to chord and some of those amazingly rich bass tones have me feeling like I am traveling right along with Dave and Hal out into the far reaches of the universe. Wonderful creation that only you could fashion in such a majestic and serene manner.

deep deep deep space
Nobody does vast space like you do Paul. I'm not sure how you do it but you are expert at conveying space beyond what I can imagine that I can see. I think you are able to fill in the knowing of space by other sensory means and that is very cool indeed. With this one I also get the feeling that my visual imaginings are from a much broader spectrum than just visible light. That's a first!

Thanks Paul, and my apologies for being late to hear some of your recent work. Other suff on the go and all that.

Hi Doug....
I strive, in these 'out there' soundscapes, to give breadth and depth to the mixes. This is achieved by stereo positioning/panning and reverb. The theme is usually three tracks with one as the 'bed' and the other two as 'sparklies' or Ambient melodic elements. These are the hardest parts for me to arrange. These 'sparklies' are supposed to flitter and flow over the main chord structure, giving both relief and possibility to an idea. That idea being different for every listener.

I'm currently busy with getting my life back on some sort of track and hope to get into the music making business again in the near future, with a planned third net album 'Karma of Love' that will be an Immersive Ambient set of tracks. This should be... [see more]
